I am Nathalie, 26 years old and I live in Dübendorf, which is just 10min outside the city of Zurich.

Well where do I start. There are so many things I love to do, but on top of it must be travelling. I am spending all my money to travel as much as I can. Happily my employee allows me 26 days off a year, so all the days get spent for a vacation far far away. My holiday must be adventurous and full of hiking. I could never lie on the beach for more than 3 days and if I do, I have to read a lot.

But when I'm home I like to cook and go to the movies or watch an Ice Hockey game at the stadium, meeting my friends and just having a good time.

I think I am a quite sociable and open minded person. I love to make feel people at home when they are visiting me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am more the hoster than the surfer, I just love to host and show people around the city. Many great experiences I made and people I met so far!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 8 months in New Zealand. Working as an Au-Pair and living at my guestfamily's house. What a wonderful time!

Most of my childhood and adolescence was filled with practice: I was a keen swimmer. Training about 6-8 times a week and participating in competitions. It was a hard but memorable time!

And then all my travelling was every cent worth. Enjoying the different cultures and places, soaking in all the new impressions!
